Seriously Dirk, you're slippin' lately. You haven't even posted on the Hart Attack in 2 weeks.

Does he have a chance to start for the Rox? I know they shed Holliday.
Coors is as good a place as any to inflate a guy's batting stats.
Of course, maybe he really, all along, was a .100 hitter, like he hit for the A's last year.

I can't see him making the team right now. They said in the last couple days that Ian Stewart could be their starting left fielder(he'll be at 1b if Helton's not ready for Opening Day though).
They also got Carlos Gonzalez who was the centerpiece of the Holliday trade, and if it's not Stewart out there in LF, it's likely him. He could also be the CF.
They still have Hawpe in right, Spilborghs, and Seth Smith who would probably beat Murton out as well.
Then there's their top prospect CF Dexter Fowler. He struggled in his September stint last year and it sounds like they're going to let him play in the minors for a little bit, but he'll be on team at some point soon.

I wasn't aware the Rockies were in need of a second baseman.
